Tony Mack remained in office for 19 days after his conviction before a judge ordered him removed from office and stripped him of his taxpayer-funded pension. He served less than one term as mayor of the city where he grew up.

Voters went to the polls Tuesday to choose his replacement. But since none of the six candidates received a majority of the voters, there will be a runoff June 10 between the top two finishers, Eric Jackson and Paul Perez.

Mack joined a string of New Jersey mayors convicted in corruption cases since 2000 that included the leaders of Newark, Camden and Asbury Park.

His administration was under a cloud from the time he took office in 2010 as Trenton’s first new mayor in 20 years.

The state government took a role in city hiring decisions after charges of rampant cronyism and financial mismanagement. There was also rapid turnover at key city government jobs. Since deep layoffs in the city police force, crime in the city of 84,000 – one of the nation’s poorest state capitals – has been a major problem. Last year, there were a record 41 homicides, including two men shot by police during confrontations.
